Does Gray Separate

Down where the crepe myrtle blooms Their lovely color against gray The pecan trees' verdant leaves breathe August has brought a cool breeze day Does the gray sky separate, block Our view and prayer line to heaven Or is it the colder air that chills our bones Even though doves sing almost twenty-four seven Doves sing from joy and gratitude Thankful for summer's food supply Soaking up rain droplets for water So why can't I sing for joy, not cry The sun is hidden from view but there It's doing its God given duty The Holy Spirit is here inside Hoping somehow to show its beauty.

Bill, it's been a rough week so far. I hope today will be better. Sometimes life issues some hard blows. Your visit has lifted my spirit and made today seem like it will be great. How is Texas' heat doing today. Sara K
